A gun is no different than a serial numbered item except for the fact that in the system the ATF Book disposition information will be completed by the system. A gun should not be sold unless it has a stock number, because it will not be taken out of the ATF book. If the sale is a layaway, the routine will fill in the disposition last name field with the word layaway and the transaction no. i.e."LAYAWAY003784" and change the status on the gun t "C"=Credit. The disposition cannot be filled out because the gun is still in the store.
When all the items have been entered a ESC should be entered to skip the rest of the item fields. The cursor will now drop down to the payment fields. The first field is the date. A ENTER will assume the current date. The next field is the payment amount. On a sale the payment should be the full amount and a ENTER is all that is required to get the complete payment. A comment field is next where a check no. or the cashier's initials can be entered. If the sale is a layaway then the payment, which will be less than the total due will signify that this is actually a layaway. When the entry is complete, the system will prompt "SALE COMPLETE", or "IS THIS A LAYAWAY". If this is actually a layaway then the reply of "Y" will automatically change the due date field to default date for layaways. At this time the operator may change the due date to whatever date has been agreed upon. The system will then prompt "LAYAWAY COMPLETE", enter a "Y" to signify yes, a ESC to quit. If verification is required that the employee number entered and the operator are the same person, read the security documentation on how to set up that option.
